1158 ET - Levi Strauss is benefiting from overall strength in the denim industry, JPMorgan analysts say. While the company hit some snags in the latest quarter, the overall denim category remains healthy and Levi is gaining market share, the analysts say. Management emphasized greater energy in the industry with increased competition, which prompted Levi to increase investments and marketing in certain areas, including low-rise jeans. On top of that, Levi has further growth opportunities in its tops and denim lifestyle categories, as well as its Asia business and women's clothing segment, the analyst say.
